Title: Smooth, warm, neck pickup?
Post by: Jongpil Yun on May 07, 2007, 01:11:47 AM

Think Buckethead's lead tone in Nottingham Lace.

Mahogany body, flamed maple top, rosewood fretboard.

i take we are talking HBs... in which case i would go for the CS, although i don't listen to anything with bucket in the name (except for KOL)... the CS is meant to be best for shredding, so i'd imagine it's fairly fluid and smooth....

Abraxas neck is great for smooth and warm.  I have no idea what Nottingham Lace sounds like though, unfortunately.

+1 for Abraxas neck.  Also the Miracle Man neck is a very smooth tone.  Most BK neck pickups will give that great neck humbucker lead sound.  I don't know any Buckethead, basically because anyone who has a KFC carton on their head never really made me want to listen to them!

The Abraxas neck sounds like a great choice to me. If your bridge pup is a hot one, maybe a Cold Sweat instead. Both are eternally popular choices.
